IMPROVEMENT IN DINNER-BUCKETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,654, dated May 25, 1875; application filed February 20, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED. E. HEINIG, of the city of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Dinner- Buckets, but more especially in a bucket already patented by me; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which Figure l is a perspective view, showing the bucket when closed up. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section, showing the interior arrangement of the device.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

This invention is in the nature of an improvement on the device for which I received Letters Patent numbered 143,241, and of date September 30, 1873; and the invention more particularly relates to the manner of securing the parts of such device together, as hereinafter fully specified.

The bucket is made in the form of a cylinder, but may be made in any other suitable form, with the top portion divided into two parts, one of which, marked A, is removable from the other, and has a back attached to it so as to form a water-tight vessel. This is secured to the other parts at the top by means of the cover F, and at the bottom by means of a flange-hook, G, on the inside of the outer shell, and also by a flange, 0 on the inside of the liquid-vessel, bent, as shown, to form a hook to drop over a corresponding catch on the bottom of the bread apartment. The vessel A is further provided with a screw-cap or nozzle, B, serving as an inlet or outlet. The other part D of the upper portion of the bucket is designed for solids, and may or may not be provided with shelves or subdivisions. Its upper ends are united, so as to strengthen the wall, by a cross-bar, b. The bottom G of this vessel or bucket conforms to the shape of the upper portion, and is secured thereto by flanges 0 0 its upper edge hooking over a corresponding flange on the lower edge of the two upper parts, so that when the water-tight vessel or liquid-receptacle is removed the lower portion can be sprung in and out of the flange on the other part, and is held in said flange again by means of the hook-catch on the inside at the bottom, and by the cover E at the top, which is made to slip over the edges of both parts.

A cup, F, may be provided, and a circular or other flange or rim, or, on the cover E, employed to receive it. E is a bail, provided for convenience of transportation, and attached to the part D.

What I claim is The within-described dinner-bucket, composed of the detachable portions A D G, se-

cured together by the cover E and flanges (J 0 O constructed and arranged substantially as set forth.
